Correct me if I’m wrong but I think Tammy Baldwin is the frontrunner now that Feingold has decided not to run. She can’t win against anyone imo. She’s openly gay - and she’s in your face about it - and as liberal as you can get.
Why run Thompson who will probably stay for one term for a little bit of more personal glory when we can run a conservative who could hold the seat for many, many years?

Use the Bill Buckley rule, i.e. the most conservative who is electable. That URL says Badgers are pretty much equally divided between pubbies, rats and indies. You will find some indies and rats who are conservative.
That's all I'll tell a Badger about Wisconsin. I'm just a political junkie from NYC. Congratuations on concealed carry!
